Police find weapon in stabbing

Preliminary results of an autopsy performed on a Hereford man found stabbed early Wednesday morning indicate he died of a single stab wound, police said Thursday.

Police and paramedics responded to the home at 603 N. Lee Ave. about 2 a.m., where they found Terry Hoffman, 31, bleeding from a stab wound to the neck, police said.

Hereford police Detective Chad Stephens on Thursday said investigators recovered a kitchen knife at the scene they determined was used in the incident.

Stephens said Hereford police and Texas Rangers were following numerous leads. It would be a few days before investigators could interview all the witnesses, Stephens said.

"We have our leads, and it's just going to be a matter of time," Stephens said. "We do have people of interest in the case."

No arrests had been made as of Thursday.

On the morning of the stabbing, an ambulance transported a 27-year-old woman to Hereford Regional Medical Center for treatment, police said. When she was released from the hospital, officers took her to the police station for questioning, police said. She was later released.
